Nietzsche's Influence on Contemporary Debates about Gender

Nietzsche's influence on contemporary debates about gender is explored in this podcast episode. There are thinkers who explicitly invoke Nietzsche, particularly those who cast themselves as neoreactionaries or in-cell types, embracing his misogynistic views. However, his legacy is acknowledged in various intellectual traditions, including feminist ones. While Nietzsche holds anti-feminist views, it is noted that his criticisms extend beyond traditional forms of misogyny. He challenges both tradition and Christianity, presenting a complicated and multifaceted perspective. Nietzsche's influence and popularity have endured over time, with his works selectively interpreted and applied to suit different political projects.
